He is a member of the Korean pop group JYJ, and was one of the original members of boy band TVXQ.

XIA made his debut in 2003 as a member of TVXQ, a boy band produced and formed by South Korean record label and talent agency S.M. Entertainment, having previously been a trainee for six years. He had released four Korean albums, four Japanese albums, thirty Japanese singles and several Korean singles during his first six years in the music industry as TVXQ. In 2009, Kim and fellow TVXQ members Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, arguing that their exclusive contracts were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three and granted an injunction suspending their contracts. The trio reunited and subsequently formed JYJ (formerly known as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN in Japan). As JYJ, Kim has released one English album, one Korean album, one Japanese EP, and one Korean EP.

Kim began his solo career in 2010 with the release of Japanese single "Xiah", which peaked at number-two on Japan's Oricon singles chart. The same year, he took the role of Wolfgang in his debut musical Mozart!, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. After the release of Xiah, Kim's solo music career was sent into hiatus because of a discord between him and his Japanese label Avex Trax that led to the sudden suspension of all his activities in Japan. In May 2012, he released his first full-length Korean solo studio album "Tarantallegra", while being represented by new management agency C-JeS Entertainment. Following the release, he embarked on his first headlining world tour. He returned with his second Korean solo studio album "Incredible", in July 2013.

XIA Lyrics

잠시만 모든 걸 다 잊고 멈추어
너에게 받았던 기억을 되새겨
한동안 잊었던 내 마음의 불꽃을
너에게 들려주고파
내 가슴의 내 방이 좁아져 가나봐
어떻게 미안해 멀어져 가나봐
소중했던 시간도 다른 사랑을 찾아
너의 향기를 지우려 애쓰고 있나봐

Baby 다른 누가 생겨도
넌 절대 잊지 못해
Baby you know I can't forget
술에 취해 네게 전화해
사랑한다 말해도
단지 듣고 있으면 돼
If you are thinking of me girl
내 이름을 불러줘
단지 그거 하나면 돼
다른 여잘 만나고 있다 해도
Baby girl baby girl
Baby girl baby girl
너무 나만 생각했나봐
너를 위해 해준 건
단 하나도 없는데
슬퍼하기만 했던 내 자신이
그저 부끄러워
겨우 이러고만 있나봐
애써 다른 핑곌 대보려
다른 사람 만나
행복한 여자와 나 그건 아니잖아
Baby 다른 누가 생겨도
넌 절대 잊지 못해
Baby you know I can't forget
술에 취해 네게 전화해
사랑한다 말해도
단지 듣고 있으면 돼
If you are thinking of me girl
내 이름을 불러줘
단지 그거 하나면 돼
다른 여잘 만나고 있다 해도
Baby girl baby girl
Baby girl baby girl
어떤 일이 있어도
You will not cry
누굴 탓하지 않아도 괜찮아
No more
추억에 묻을게 너를 잊지 않을게
너에겐 의미 없니
No gain no gain no gain
너의 생각 따윈 필요 없는데
Baby 다른 누가 생겨도
넌 절대 잊지 못해
Baby you know I can't forget
술에 취해 네게 전화해
사랑한다 말해도
단지 듣고 있으면 돼
If you are thinking of me girl
내 이름을 불러줘

단지 그거 하나면 돼
다른 여잘 만나고 있다 해도
